Yes, but how can I tell if anybody likes my own posts? Also, can we have a "DISLIKE" button, please?

--- Quote from: HannahRose on 04 Feb 2015, 22:34 ---Sorry to break the plot twist chain, I just wanted to comment in response to some of the people who are musing about it being "too soon" for Claire and Marten to do.. whatever they might be doing.
It occurs to me that no where near the same number of people seemed to be as critical or concerned about Marten having a one night stand a while back with Tai's friend, nor were there as many complaints about him hooking up with Padma so soon after they'd met.
There's something else that I'd like to add as well, speculating about whether or not they should get together based on the stage that they're at in their relationship is one thing (although it's still no one's business but Claire and Marten's), but the comments about Claire's trans* status, and whether or not it should affect what's about to happen behind that door really bother me. The only people who are in any place to make decisions based on that are Claire herself, and by extension Marten, if indeed they are going further than cuddles. Other people discussing it just seems a little bit too close to a direct discussion about Claire's body, which if I'm not mistaken, is not allowed on these forums, since it's not only rude, but also potentially offensive to trans* people who may be reading the comments (and no, as has been stated over and over, just because Claire is fictional does not make it okay).

Well, there are a lot more people in WCDT at the moment. When there is drama in the comic (and I mean drama as in Faye drinking herself into the hospital) people tend to flock to the discussion thread. So... yeah, a lot more people are commenting on this than on Dale/Marigold, Dora/Tai, Marten/whatsherface, or Marten/Padma simply because there are more people posting and reading the WCDT in general.
I do think most people, as Omega said, are more concerned because Claire is a virgin, and she is with an experienced partner, as opposed to Dale/Marigold, who were both virgins.
I don't quite know where to draw the line here... so here is where I am drawing it. I won't discuss Claires body, nor what specific sexual activites she might prefer. But I don't see a problem with discussing Claire's trans* status as it relates to how it might affect other attitudes she has in the rest of the comic.

No.
There's discussion of this (the why's, wherefores and workings of the like button) in another thread in this section. Take a look, the reasoning's pretty clear.
If you really dislike something, you'll have to tell us why. Within the decency rules of the forum, of course.

I should note that I liked your post to show how you can tell if anyone liked your post, not to agree with the suggestion for a "dislike" button.

Carl-E answered the second question - you can tell if someone liked your post in the same place the message is for people liking other people's posts. I liked yours to show you.
If you're all "DUH, I KNEW THAT" then I'll remove the like. :mrgreen:
Warning - while you were typing, somebody did that already and you don't have to like anything now.
